Although it was first spotted November 1, 2012 and continued to spawn until March 1, 2013, Blizzard has since changed the spawning of this pet to correspond with the Northern Hemisphere real-world seasons. This means the Snowy Owl will begin spawning at the start of the winter solstice.

I was very excited to finally find one of these, start the fight, and see that it was a rare. First one I found. Then an untimely crit killed it robbing me of my prize. The next morning at 6:30am server time, I found half a dozen in less than an hour. I suspect getting on when noone else is around is the way to go. No rare for me yet but I have an uncommon and I'm ok with that.

Took a while to find this guy in Rare quality, and I didn't level him right off. The moment I began raising him up, I was very impressed by his power, even at a lower level. Very strong pet, kills the opposition fast, blindingly fast if he's got the advantage. Love him! :) (Mine is S/B)

Just captured mine on Undermine 2:20pm server time. It was a common but I will take it. Took circling the zone twice to find and was finally located at 24.2, 59.3 just east of Snowden Chalet. Keep looking they are out there.

For those of you looking, don't give up. But yeah looks like the spawn for these has been uber nerfed. Lap of Winterspring hitting all spawn spots found only one uncommon. Was on Norgannon at 7am so the zone was fairly dead. I dropped battle and let a near by Dwarf named Itess catch it, got her achiv. I'm just trying to catch a rare of all wild pets, only have 3 preWoD to get. Snowy Owl, Minifernal, Wanderer's Festival Hatchling. Wish this was a achiv.

Spend some time circling around on my main server, nothing. Went to low pop server, found 1 in the hills behind Starfall. It was blue and dropped a Flawless Beast battle stone. So I got the title and my Baby ape camping is done.

Alpine Hare...Alpine Hare...Alpine Hare...Alpine Chipmunk... Apline Ha... DAMIT! Been waiting since last spring for this one and 2 days in and countless hours and nothing. Sigh... the search continues.
